Re: How to 'make package' after 'make install' has been done?

I've just rebuilt a whole bunch of packages from source, and now that
I've installed them on my build machine, I'd like to run 'make
package' so I can install the binaries on my other machines without
having to build them all over again from source.
Reading the documentation on http://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc
(section 6.1), it seems to say that all I have to do is run 'make
package' which will "...build and install your package (if not already
done), ..."
this implies that it won't bother to reinstall if the package is
already installed. However, reality is that 'make package' complains
that the package is "already installed, perhaps an older version".
So, what's the magic incantation to build the binary package from the
existing work.$MACHINE_ARCH directory?
Did you clean before doing 'make pakage'? If so, then the install will
fail, and package depends on install.
pkg_tarup is useful as obache@ pointed out.
Two other bits of advice:
run 'make package' instead of make install in the first place.
set in mk.conf:
DEPENDS_TARGET= package
UPDATE_TARGET= package
so that you get packages for dependencies.
I use the following script prior to pkg_rolling-replace and it has a
loop to ensure there are binary packages for all installed packages:
